Boomtown X

Namco Bandai's Splatterhouse, a re-imagining of the violent arcade classic, has been banned in Germany.

The news comes with no surprise considering the brutal violence on display, but Germany's hammer has landed on less worthy games, such as Treyarch's recent Call of Duty: Black Ops - if only be preventing uncut imports.

Still, Splatterhouse is due for release on November 26th on 360 and PS3.
